The raw vegan lifestyle in Ottawa Canada

Travelling a la raw

So I am finally soaking it up (wheatgrass and sun) after a very long day in transit. My good friend Patti & I met up at Newark where we passed the time catching up over a most delicious airport lunch. We heaped our “borrowed” paper plates with Ocean Grown sunflower greens and marinated kale salad. Doesn’t our live lunch look absolutely delicious? I was so very relieved that my kale salad made it through security. The things we raw foodists put importance on. 🙂 Last year, the officer on duty tried to confiscate my creamy salad dressing but I managed to convince him to let me mix the dressing in with the salad, making it less liquid and more solid. It took a lot of charm, and he finally went for it but there was a lot of head shaking going on.

At Newark Airport, we found a smoothie/juice bar so I ordered a fresh apple juice, adding in some Vitamineral Green. While travelling, I prefer keeping things simple, eating light and hydrating my body as much as possible. A few days before my trip, I’ll drink extra water, green juices, concentrated greens (e3live, Vitamineral Green, chlorella, etc) and smoothies. These days flying is more challenging with all the restrictions, but once past through security, I’ll purchase a large bottle of water (or 2), mixing in whatever green powders I have on hand. I also load up on bee pollen and pop chlorella tablets throughout the flight. Apples, dulse, nori, figs, sunflower greens and dried apricots are my choice foods to snack on while airborne.

It feels so good to be by the sea, taking long walks along the beach and absorbing the sun. Ahhh
